Level 3 BLAS
Most of the Level 3 BLAS is derived from GEMM, so that is the primary focus of the optimization.
- operations vs. data
The intuition that the operations will dominate over the data accesses only works for roughly square matrices. The real measure should be some kind of surface area to volume. The difference becomes important for very non-square matrices.

Famous quotes containing the word level:
“I love thee to the level of everyday’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
